Attracting Private Capital for Public Good: Can Social Impact Bonds Move the Needle? Frontline with Faculty Series.

To some, Social Impact Bonds and pay for performance contracts
are just the latest “gold rush” or a way for governments to
outsource critical services; others see real possibilities to
attract long term private capital to some of society’s most
intractable problems. In this panel conversation, we’ll hear from
the frontlines of this new frontier with three leaders in the field
and learn about the reality and potential for this new
public-private partnership and its capacity to scale both
domestically and internationally.
